INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of a Broadcast Tools® WVRC-4, Four Channel WEB
and Voice Dial-up Remote Control System (referred to as the WVRC-4 throughout
this manual). We’re confident that this product should give you many years of
dependable service. This manual is intended to give you all the information needed
to install and operate the Broadcast Tools® WVRC-4.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Only qualified technical personnel should install the WVRC-4. Any attempt to install
this device by a person who is not technically qualified could result in a hazardous
condition to the installer or other personnel, and/or damage to the WVRC-4 or other
equipment. Broadcast transmitters can operate at voltages that are potentially lethal.
Please ensure that proper safety precautions have been made before installing this
device. If you are unfamiliar with this type of equipment, please contact a properly
qualified engineer to handle the installation and setup of the WVRC-4.
For additional safety, it is strongly recommended that, in addition to setting the
WVRC-4 in to OP/PGM mode, the remote/local switch on any transmitter or high
voltage equipment also be set to local mode.
While the WVRC-4’s relays are physically capable of handling 250 VAC, this practice is extremely dangerous and should never be attempted. The pluggable euroblock
screw terminals are not designed to shield humans from potentially dangerous voltages. Contact with high voltages can cause serious injury or death. The maximum
recommended voltage for the WVRC-4 is 30V. Switching of high voltages should
only be done external from the WVRC-4 and in a manner that isolates the voltages
from accidental contact with humans.

WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual
Product Overview
The WVRC-4 provides a cost-effective, half-rack solution for web based and/or
recordable voice response dial-up transmitter site control. The WVRC-4 was
designed from a users point of view, so all of the basic functionality you need is
included to control your site equipment, while including the accessories other manufacturers consider optional. Each analog (metering), status, silence sensor, temperature sensor and power failure input can be configured to email up to four individual email addresses, allowing different input alarms to be routed to different email
recipients.
The WVRC-4 is equipped with a browser based 100-event program scheduler for
relay control and alarm muting, along with an FIFO 8192-event alarm logger. The
user can enable a sound effect to play when an out of tolerance alarm is generated.
We have also provided SNMP capabilities to allow multiple units to be monitored
with any SMNP manager software package.
The WVRC-4 is equipped with four high-resolution analog (metering) channels,
while each of the four optically isolated status channels may be configured for 5 to
24vdc wet or dry (contact closures) status monitoring. The four control channels are
equipped with independent SPDT one-amp relays for each raise/on and lower/off
function for a total of eight relays. These relays may be latched, unlatched (Web
mode only) or momentarily closed.
The WVRC-4 is supplied with spoken words and phrases in English, while the user
is free to record words and phrases in any language. In addition, the WVRC-4 may
be programmed for dial-up operation via HyperTerminal, while the Java applet programming can be performed using your favorite web browser.
System expansion may be accomplished by cascading multiple WVRC-4’s on the
same telephone line and/or Ethernet switch.

WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual
Inspection
Please examine your WVRC-4 carefully for any damage that may have been sustained during shipping. If any is noted, please notify the shipper immediately and
retain the packaging for inspection by the shipper.
The package should contain the WVRC-4, this manual and/or CD, 25-foot temperature probe, 7 foot BLUE straight-through CAT 5 cable, 7 foot GRAY crossover
CAT 5 cable, RJ-11 telephone cable, 7-foot DB-9 straight-through serial cable and
the 12 VAC@1 amp wall transformer.
Installation
Surge Protection
The WVRC-4 has built-in resistance to voltage changes; we recommend that you
use a power surge protector or line conditioner on the incoming AC line. Lightning
strikes and other high surges in voltage levels will damage your WVRC-4 and connected equipment if it is not properly protected. For lightning protection devices,
check out www.polyphaser.com and www.itwlinx.com.
CAUTION!
Installation of the
WVRC-4 in high RF
environments should be
performed with care.
Shielded cable is suggested for all monitoring and control connections with all shields
tied to the station
ground terminal. The
station ground should
be connected to any
available rear panel
ground terminal or
chassis ground screw
using an 18 or 20-gauge
wire.
UPS Standby Power System
We recommend that you connect your WVRC-4 to a UPS system. While all operating and user parameters are stored in non-volatile EEPROM, brownout conditions
and lightning induced spikes can disable or damage equipment.
A UPS helps minimize the risk to the WVRC-4 and has the added benefit that it will
then be able to notify you of the power outage by email, phone or pager depending
on your system configuration.

Analog (metering) inputs
CAUTION! Analog input (metering) samples may be elevated several hundred
volts above ground on some external equipment. Permanent damage may occur to
the WVRC-4 and/or external equipment if a high voltage metering source is connected to the WVRC-4! Failure to observe this warning may also cause injury to the
installer or other personnel.
CAUTION!
DO NOT CONNECT
SAMPLE VOLTAGES
IN EXCESS OF POSITIVE 10 VDC OR
DAMAGE
MAY
OCCUR TO YOUR
WVRC-4.
CAUTION! Floating Grounds
Except for all status (wet) inputs, none of the WVRC-4’s metering inputs will accept
a floating ground. Damage to the WVRC-4 or your equipment may result from connecting a floating ground output to the WVRC-4. If you require metering inputs
with equipment that has a floating ground, an isolation DC amplifier must be used.
Four analog (metering) channels are connected to the WVRC-4 via depluggable
euro-block screw terminals. Connect the positive side of the source to the desired
channel terminal labeled ANx (where x is the channel number 1 through 4) and associated GND (ground) terminal. Each analog (metering) input can handle up to (positive only) 10 volts DC and must be ground referenced. Connect your metering
ground to the associated ground terminal. Inputs are self-calibrating and are based
on an internal A/D converter with a precision, low-drift voltage reference, so the
reading should not drift over time or with temperature. Analog (metering) setup is
performed by connecting the sample voltage to the analog (metering) input, then
programming the WVRC-4 for the desired value (reading).

WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual
Status Inputs
Each of the four optically isolated status inputs can be configured to accept either a
contact closure (dry = default) or a (floating, wet). Attach your dry contacts to the
desired status channels StxA and STxB (where x is the status input) terminals.
Each input is equipped with a four-position header. Each input is labeled IN-x
(where x is the status input) and the header pins are labeled 1,2,3,4. The factory
default is a DRY input (switch, relay contact) with jumpers between 1 & 2 and 3 &
4. In the dry configuration, the “A” terminal is ground while the “B” terminal is the
cathode of the opto diode (pulled up to 5 volts through a 2.2K resistor).
To change the status input to (floating) WET (user supplied voltage between 5 and
24vdc), remove both jumpers and place ONE jumper over pins 2 & 3. Connect the
positive voltage to terminal “A” (anode) and ground or minus voltage to terminal
“B”(cathode). ! NOTE: Please observe proper polarity.
Raise/Lower Relays
Raise and lower relays K1 through K4 are supplied with SPDT dry contacts.
Equipment to be controlled by the RAISE relays should be connected to the TOP terminals labeled RxNC, RxCM and RxNO (where x is the channel number), while
equipment to be controlled by the LOWER relays should be connected to the BOTTOM terminals labeled LxNC, LxCM and LxNO (where x is the channel number).
NOTE: If mechanical latching relays are required, we suggest the Broadcast
Tools LR-5 (4PDT & 1SPST) mechanical latching relay.
Power Failure Input
Connect a user supplied 6 to 12 volts DC only power source (center positive) to the
power failure input labeled PF. The barrel connector size is 2.1mm ID x 5.5mm OD.
An inexpensive 6 to 12 volts DC wall transformer of any current of 50 ma or more
will work.
NOTE: The primary (120vac) of the wall transformer should be connected to
the utility company side of your service. An UPS is suggested to power the
WVRC-4 during power outages.
Silence Sensor Inputs
Connect your unbalanced monaural or stereo audio source to the terminals labeled
SSL, GND and SSR. The level should be between –10 and +8 dbu. The input
impedance is approximately 10K ohms. When the SS is activated, you can adjust
the SS Sense trimmer for an illuminated front panel SS led. If the SS led is out, the
signal is low and if it’s flashing, it in an alarm condition (if enabled). The silence
sensor signal can only be aurally monitored in dial-up mode. The front panel SS
Mon trimmer should be adjusted for a comfortable level at the caller end.
CAUTION! If the SS MON level is too high, the unit may have trouble detecting
DTMF tones. NOTE: The DTMF guard time jumper is factory set to the “MED”
position for enhanced tone detection. In some applications, your may need to move
this jumper.

NOTE: Some “cell phone services” severely distort DTMF control tones
resulting in unreliable control. If you plan on using the cellular system for your
POTS connection, you may have to experiment with various service providers
to get reliable control. With some cellular phone services, you may need to
change the DTMF guard time jumper to the “FAST” position. We recommend
using a product from Telular “Phonecell® SX5D or SX7” which is designed for
the GSM system (www.telular.com/).

WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual
When item (3) is selected from the PGM Menu, the Access Code, Lap, Ring Count, Repeat
Count, Silence Sensor Delay Time, Power Fail Time, Hang up time, Monitor access code
and Analog Debounce Time can be programmed.
The “Access Code” may be changed from the default code of 123, allowing a user all control functions.
“Lap” defines the number of times the WVRC-4 will go through all of the numbers in the callout list when calling out an alarm if it does not receive an acknowledgement.
NOTE: Alarms are acknowledged by pushing the star (*) key when an alarm is called
out.
“Ring” defines the number of rings required before the WVRC-4 answers a call.
“Repeat” is the number of times the voice message will be repeated when the alarm is
called out. Since there is no way of knowing when the remote party answers the phone line,
the WVRC-4 will start playing the alarm message a few seconds after dialing for the
“Repeat” number of times. So when an alarm call is answered, you may pick up the phone
in the middle of an announcement or there may be a few seconds of silence before the start
of the next message. Once the star (*) is entered to acknowledge the alarm, it will stop playing the message. You can now enter your access code and perform control functions or
polling.
“Silence” Time is programmed with a value of 0-9 with a 0 being OFF and 1-9 with values are as follows: 1 = 10 sec, 2 = 30 sec, 3 = 60 sec, 4 = 1.5 min, 5 = 2.0 min, 6 = 2.5 min,
7 = 3 min, 8 = 4.0 min and 9 = 5.0 min. Note: The silence sensor audio must be restored
for a minimum of 10 seconds and the alarm must be acknowledged before it is cleared.
“Power Fail” Time is programmed in 10 second values. For example, 2 = 20 seconds of
silence or power failure to generate an alarm, 9 = 90 seconds. If it is set to “0”, the alarm
will be turned off and will not call out.
The “HU” value refers to the number of minutes the WVRC-4 will remain off-hook after
answering the call before hanging up automatically. Normally a CPC signal is sent from the
Central Office to signal it to hang up. If you are connected to a standard phone line, you
can set the HU to 0, and it will remain off-hook until the CPC signal is received. If it is connected on the other side of a PBX system that does not pass the CPC signal, then a value of
1-9 minutes should be set into HU to keep it from remaining off hook and causing the line
to be busy. The HU timer will be reset each time a valid DTMF is decoded showing activity. Once there is no more activity, the WVRC-4 will time-out after the HU time value and
force a hang-up.

Visit our web site for
product updates and
additional information.
The “Monitor Access Code” is an alternate access code that allows a user only to
monitor or poll the various inputs. No control functions can be performed unless a valid
Control Access code has been entered.
The “Analog (metering) Debounce Timer” is the number of ten second increments required
for the analog inputs to accept an alarm condition. For example, if it is set to 3, an Analog
input must be in an alarm condition for 30 seconds before an alarm will be generated.

Pager Numbers and Data Strings
When item 4 is selected from the PGM Menu, the pager number and pager data can
be entered. To force the WVRC-4 to dial a pager number, enter a “9” in the dial-list.
That will cause the WVRC-4 to first dial the number in the page list, then it will generate two digits to identify the source of the alarm; 11-14 for analog (metering inputs
one through four, 19 for a temperature alarm, 20 for a power failure, 21-24 for status inputs one through four and 29 for a silence sensor alarm. The last item to be
sent is the pager data. This can be used to identify the station or location of the
WVRC-4. The comma (,) can be used any place in the dialing strings to place a one
second pause and the semi-colon (;) for a five second pause.
Analog (metering) Setup
When “5” is selected from the PGM Menu, the analog (metering) calibration and
Alarm Set Points can be configured.
Select “1” to calibrate any of the analog (metering) inputs for the desired value.
Selecting a “1” will produce the following prompt “Select Ch 1-4 followed by the
desired 4 digit value”. Enter the channel number, then the desired value.

NOTE: The decimal point may be added and is not considered part of the four
digits
Example: To calibrate analog (metering) channel 1, enter 1, then the desired fourdigit reading.
Example: 75.00 would be seventy-five; 750.0, seven hundred and fifty while 7500
would be seventy five hundred.
NOTE: The correct value on the analog (metering) input MUST be present for
several seconds prior to entering OP/PGM mode. Once program mode is
entered, the analog (metering) inputs are locked and changes made while in
program mode will not be read. If there is no signal on the input, an error message will be displayed.

WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual
Temperature alarm set points are set up in the analog (metering) “Alarms” menu section. Item “9” sets the low and high set points. The entry is a four-digit number with
the first digit being the F or C designator. If the first digit is a “0” then the number
is assumed to be Fahrenheit. If the first digit is a “1” then Celsius is assumed.
Example: To enter low and high alarm set points of 30F and 95F, enter 0030/0095.
To enter low and high alarm set points of 10C and 40C enter 1010/1040. Do not
enter the “/”, it will be entered automatically.
Status Setup
When “6” is selected from the PGM Menu, the Status inputs are set up for either
Normally Open or Normally Closed and for the amount of DEBounce time the input
has to be in an “alarm” state for an alarm to be generated.
When “1” is selected from the menu: Make changes or press Escape to accept current values. If changes are made, all four values must be entered.

WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual
When the WVRC-4 is called, it will answer on the number of rings programmed.
When it answers, enter the default security code 123 for this example. The access
LED will illuminate once a valid security code is entered, and the “Access Accepted”
Message will play. After a valid access code is received, the addressed unit will generate a DTMF “AB” which will cause any other units in parallel to hang up.
NOTE:
Multiple WVRC-4’s may be daisy-chained to allow for channel
expansion. Use an unique access code for each additional WVRC-4.
Raise and Lower Relays are controlled with single digits 1-4 followed by * for
Lower or # for Raise. Once a single channel number has been entered, you can now
enter * or # to operate that channel until a new channel number has been entered.
The analog value for the selected channel will play each time a number between 1
and 4 is entered as long as DIP3 is OFF.
Example: Enter 1 – analog value 1 will play - * - The number 1 Lower relay will
be held on as long as “*” received, # - Raise relay held on as long as “#” received.
If DIP3 is OFF, the associated relay message plus “raise” or “lower” will be played
after the * or # is released. To find out the new analog values just press 1 again and
it will speak the new value.
Audio I/O functions are controlled with the following codes, once the security code
has been entered:
07 – Silence sensor monitor audio to telco ON
08 – Silence sensor monitor audio to telco OFF
NOTE: The silent sensor audio will be turned off when the WVRC-4 hangs up.
The Status inputs, Analog (metering) inputs, silence sensor and power fail inputs can
be polled.
Polling Silence Sensor Alarm: 910
Polling Status inputs: 911 - polls status input 1, 912 - polls status input 2 ….
914 polls input 4.
NOTE: When polling status inputs, the actual alarm state is returned, regardless of the input being high or low. So if the input is set as Normally Closed,
and it is Open when polled, it will say “Input x is “ON”.
Polling Power Failure: 919
Manual Hang-up: 920 will cause the WVRC-4 to hang up.
Polling Analog (metering) inputs:
921 - polls analog input 1, 922 - polls analog input 2 ….. 924 polls analog input 4.
Polling temperature: 929

A single event can be defined quite flexibly. However, complex schedules might
require multiple events. For example, to schedule an event that occurs at 16:30 on
March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 would require four separate
event entries.
